I would have moved in a heartbeat-either to The Netherlands or back to the UK. We at least plan on buying property there later.

...Becca: :o 15000????? :o

I kid you not. It was a council house he had lived in 30 years. Could have been purchased under a scheme for long term renters.

of the nearly four years we have spent with one another, we have lived one year in a long distance rel, one in the US and two in Germany (my home country).

Now it's time to go back "home" to the US, but who knows what the future will bring? We have Australia, Central America and a couple of other places on our list still ;)

short history:

2001 - met in Germany

April 2003 - fell in love

Aug 2004 - go to the US for internship

Feb 2005 - both return to Germany

Aug 2006 - getting married

DCF timeline:

09/01/2006 - filed the petition in Frankfurt

09/06/2006 - medical in Frankfurt

09/26/2006 - faxed checklist

10/05/2006 - received interview invite

11/01/2006 - INTERVIEW in Frankfurt - approved!

11/04/2006 - VISA IN HAND!!

12/21/2006 - POE San Francisco and ON TO SEA!

one thing I forgot to ask @homesick_american:

how does your husband like living in the UK?

How does he feel about your not only not liking, but hating life there?

I'm sure my husband would find it sad if I disliked his home country as much as you...

My husband has never lived anywhere else, so it's not a question he can answer.

He's disappointed that I don't like it here but he doesn't blame himself. He wants to move.

Us too. We are just in the US to get enough money and job experience to move elsewhere. We considered going to Canada first, but we are really on the line as far as points are concerned. I think we will have 68 and 67 is the cutoff? We will have to learn a bit more French and get some more job experience. If we're ridiculously lucky we will find an employer to sponser us. Either way we should be pretty good to sit around for a few years and see if our visa would be approved. Same deal with New Zealand or Australia (fat chance). We could also see moving to somewhere in Scandinavia. It is faster immigrationwise, anyway. I see staying in the US for at least the next 5 years, but after that? See what happens.

I am moving (back) to my SO's country......we have a child and for me and the position I'm in doesn't just being away from each other and him his daughter. I know not everyone can or has the same opportunities...but it's worked in the past for us and we're going to make it work again until his visa comes through. And, btw, I LOVE living in Lahore so it's not the worst thing in the world for me, although I'll miss my family and friends (again)

For financial reasons we decided the US was the better option. My husband's career here is very established and we are lucky enough to enjoy a very comfortable lifestyle. We do intend to go to the UK however in the future, maybe 5-6 years time, and hopefully stay there for 5 years. After that time, god willing, we would like to spend 6 months of each year in each country. I am very close to my family in the UK, with my parents now in their 70's. We are aware that our plans may need to change should family issues arise, so nothing is set in stone. I love the US but I also miss the UK, and thankfully my husband feels the same. Having the best of both worlds would be wonderful.
